The Laurens Advertiser is not so much concerned about the passage of a State-wide prohibition law as it is about prohibition for Lauren.; county. Our hope is that this enmity, great as it is and with a future of such promise, may be rescued from the debauching influ ences now existent. "The Water is Good" appears in the headline of a recent issue of the Ander son Daily Mail. That's a prohibition newspaper. Another headline in that same Ander son Daily Mail is: "Crazy People Here?" Maybe so; there are some scattered about all over these parts, Hut we as sure you, Brother Cnrpontor, they did not emigrate from Laurens. We have all our emigrants spotted and there is not a crazy one among them, especially in Anderson. Doubtless the Mail already knows it, but WO wish to say that this same An derson Daily Mail is very closely read in this oillcc. It is among the best of the State papers. They keep talking about a "Rest Room" over in the town of Green wood. Hero in Lnurcna people don't have time to rest in the daytime and when night comes they go home espe cially the young men. The Greenwood Index says Laurens is a mighty good town to come "from." Certainly. That fact is sufficient cre dential to carry him anywhere; that's what carried one of our citizens into the mayor's chair in Greenwood. Now we did not say into the "mayor's office," for no Laurens man has ever been hauled up before a Greenwood mayor. (Wo say this merely to head olf thoso Greenwood editors, whose in genuity we constantly fear.) Newberry, by the way, has n??t been heard from recently on this mayor ques tion, Have they raised his salary yet? Union says she has been paying $600 formany years. Well, maybe it is not so much the worth of the mayor that counts there; it is doubtless worth more than $f><)(> to be mayor of Union. While it is true that the whiskey ? le nient, lawbreakers, of Charleston are going to support Mr. Cole L. Hlease, of Newberry, South Carolina, candidate for governor, almost solidly, it does not necessarily mean that Candidate Hlease represents only that class, despite the assertion of many newspapers to the contrary. That Is really an injustice to Mr. Hlease, but ho must suffer for the sake of those friends and their support. "Oh, Lord! deliver us from our friends" can be uttered from the heart sometimes. On another page appears a brief his tory of On.vor Cleveland's eventful Htfs, It Is interesting every line of it, ano ,'hould be an inspiration to all who read it. Of course the blind tigers in Charles? toti who have been effectively put out of business by Governor Ansel will not fall over each other re-electing him. The hope of their salvation is else where. At the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last week one member made the statement that Laurens was not advertised at all compared with other cities of equal slsso. Probably so; but wc venture the assertion that Laurens has never before in her history received the advertisement that has been hers during the past year, since the organi zation ot the Chamber of Commerce. That gentleman also fails to reckon the newspapers of the State in this matter. They have done something In this advertising lino, little though it be. Is it customary to "cry" the an nouncement of a stockholders' mooting where dividends are to bo declared. How about the Laurens delegation in the Legislature asking for a special levy to improve the court house? When the Executive Hoard of the: Chamber of Commerce meets tomor row why can they not arrange for a smoker or a meeting of some kind at night when the members will not have to rush out at (1 o'clock. At the meet ing last Thursday there was scarcely time to discuss any questions of public interest. Our customary way of "calling" meetings here rather insults the func tion of a business man's watch. THE GREAT AMERICAN. The Great American is dead. In the passing uf Stephen Crover Cleveland, whose death occurred early last Wednes day morning, there ended a life whose influonce was as broad as the Union and as lasting as time itself. A statesman in the truest and most forceful sense of the word, ever true to his convictions, patriotic and loyal to the best tradi tions of his country, of wonderful ex ecutive ability, morally strong, and pos sessed of a breadth of view unbounded by party lines was this great Ameri can, for whom the entire country now mourns. Twice president of these United Stales, he served his people with ability and faithfulness, unexcelled by none and equaled by few if any. At the time <>f his ascendency to the pres idential chair the country was in inuni dent danger of spoliation by the politi cians and office-holders that had been admitted under the lax civil service laws of the time. One of the greatest benefits of Cleveland's administration was his reformation of the civil service laws. His close adherence to the Con stitution was an example well set, re sulting in the preservation of liberty, the foundation of the American gov ernment. Ex-President Crover Cleveland was an American among Americans. Ho lived for his country, and although that country has failed to give him justice during his lifetime, the day will conic when ho shall be known as the Great American. ?fiOD MADE MAN." "Cod made man; therefore let us love Him" is an oft-repeated injunction and at the same time an of t-disregarde.l one. Early in the life of (I child there is doubtless no more difficult task than t hat of teaching him not to hate others, but "to love his neighbor." We are reminded of an excellent article on this subject by Ella Wheeler Wilcox in which she says: "It may not be possi ble to teach a child to "love every neighbor as himself, for that is the most difficult of the commandments* to follow to the letter; but it is possible to eliminate hatred from a nature if we awaken sympathy for the object of dis like." So then, it is possible, after training along these lines in childhood, for one to pity without hating; to wit, it be comes us as well trained men and women to pity the poor worm in the dust in stead of hating it. Often we hear the expression, "I hate a worm." Is there really in this emotion the element of hate? We think not; but if there be, then that mind and heart is out of tune with the harmony of creation." Do we hate a fellowman? if so, the expres sions of our lives are producing a dis cord in the music of the spheres. It may not be in the power of our un trained minds and hearts to positively and actively love some people in this world, but we can be so in sympathy with mankind as to pity those wecannot love. The knowledge of the brother hood of man should be the foundation of that universal sympathy that ought to exist, rendering it impossible to hate. ' ' That which we pity we cannot hate.'' Knowing that a great and all-loving In telligence is the creator of all mankind, both good and bad, it becomes us as fellow-creatures of that divine Intelli gence and Force not to hate each other; if possible to love, or at least to pity those who have sunk into the dirt and dust and become as mere worms. And this docs not mean that we are to sam - tlon, condone or even pass over in si lence the guilt of those who have be come so low and depraved. "He ye an gry and sin not" means for us to hate, despise and condemn the wrongful acts of man without hating the man himself, wherein lies the sin. In our daily in tercourse with men wo meet those whose lives .and acts are so low and de spicablo, whose methods arc so vile and contemptible that it would seem almost an impossibility to keep hate out of the heart toward the agents of such infamy; and yet the great heart and the well trained mind can rise above the wrong, difficult though it may be, of hating a fellowman. "Cod made man; therefore let us love him." Due West Female College. With the best modern conven iences and equipment, and high standards of teaching and living, this is an ideal place for prepara tion for the great responsibilities of womanhood. TERMS RNASONAHI.E.
